I bought this triggerfish for my 120-gallon reef tank. It has been thriving for three months. The fish is active and shows good coloration. I’ve had to keep an eye on it to avoid nipping at my soft corals, but overall it’s manageable with proper setup.

The fish arrived healthy and grew steadily in size. I noticed it was more active than expected and had to reposition some corals to avoid damage. Still, it’s a bold addition to the tank and adds visual interest.

It’s aggressive and not suited for a mixed community. I kept it alone with hard corals and it seems to be doing fine. Not recommended for beginners who want a calm, peaceful tank.
